Question

If Joey makes 76% of his free throws, how many free throws would you expect him to make in a season if he shoots a grand total of 120 shots over the course of the season?

Answer 1

How could you write 76% as a decimal?

Answer 2

.76?

Answer 3

Yes. Now if he makes 76% (or 0.76) of his total throws, we can multiply 0.76*120 to find our answer, because "of" is meaning to multiply here.
See if you can finish the question. :)

Answer 4

91.2 ?

Answer 5

thank you for your help btw :)

Answer 6

Yup, that's what I got too.
They might want this rounded down to 91 throws, because it doesn't make much sense to make .2 of a throw!
And you welcome for the help. Glad I can be a help. :)

Answer 7

aw thanks again! :)

Answer 8

No problemo!
